San Diego to Las Vegas

Something we don’t highlight enough in our blogs is how amazing people have been to us throughout our entire journey. While we were in Hawaii we were lucky enough to spend time with our good friends Angel in JoAnna who live on Oahu. Angel’s parents live in San Diego and graciously invited us into their […]

Aloha Hawaii

“Ladies and Gentlemen, please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts as we begin our final descent,” the captain said over the plane intercom. We looked out the windows trying to see if we could see our destination… Nothing. Just the big, open deep blue. The Pacific Ocean had been our only view for the […]

California Dreamin’

We got to California mid-October and had to switch up our plans due to the Kincaid Fire. Our original plan was to drive from our KOA site in Cresent City down the 101 to Santa Cruz, but the fire was swiftly making its way up the coast. After doing some research on the fire, we […]

The Great State of Oregon

Oregon was nothing short of amazing. We stayed with my Great Aunt Connie in Portland, who I hadn’t seen since I was in middle school. Our visit with her was filled with delicious home-cooked meals, lots of exploring, endless laughs, and many precious conversations. We are so thankful to her for opening up her home […]

The Evergreen State

We arrived in Enumclaw, Washington to visit Tucker’s very dear friends, The Gower’s. We spent a few days hanging out with them and helping with improvements to their house. They were getting ready to have a baby, so we wanted to help out and do our part. We spent some our time seeing the surrounding […]

North and Back Again

Where do I start? When we first left for this trip the idea of going to Alaska seemed a little farfetched. It was something that we wanted, but weren’t sure if it was a realistic goal. Given the time we started and when we would be getting out west, it seemed that we would be […]

Yellowstone National Park

Upon arriving in Yellowstone we had two goals – see Old Faithful and see the Grand Prismatic Spring. We did both and so much more. As soon as we entered the park, we made a beeline straight for Old Faithful in hopes of catching an eruption. Of course when we got there it had just […]

The Road to Alaska

Howdy folks! It’s been a while. We have been on the road for a solid two months now and we are finally starting our trek up to Alaska. For those of you who we haven’t spoken to within the past 10 hours, let me fill you in. We left Billings, Montana yesterday morning with the […]

Glacier National Park

We originally planed to stay in Glacier National Park for three days, but changed our plans so we could start our drive to cross the Canadian Rockies before October. In British Columbia you are required to drive with winter tires, and, since ours are all-season tires, we need to get back to the lower 48 […]

Billings, Montana

Tucker and I were lucky enough to have been invited to stay in Billings with my Dad’s close friends from Virginia. The last time I saw the Harris family I was around six years old. From the first day we arrived in Billings we felt so at home and grateful to the Harris’ for their […]

Devils Tower, Wyoming

On our way to North Dakota, we had to drive through Wyoming to get a glimpse of the infamous Devils Tower. Approaching the rock formation, we were caught a bit off guard as we were driving and suddenly you could see Devils Tower in the distance, many miles away. As you get closer, it disappears […]

Badlands, South Dakota

As soon as we entered Badlands National Park we felt a unique feeling of the past when the American Indians roamed the plains. During our first day in the park we decided to do a 1-mile strenuous hike to the summit of Saddle Pass Trail. The trail takes you through a unique geological landscape formed […]
